A Mans Hair Turned White from Fright
During q Ride Through tho Clouds.
In a talk with John Forepaugh re-
Gently several interesting stories of ad-
ventures with hot-air balloons were
INDUCED in.
ave used to initiate the balloons and
send them skyward at every stopping
point of the Forepaugh show" he said,
sand remember now n incident in
regard to these balloons which occurred
in 1874 at Chester. There was a large
crowd on the grounds, and a man we
called Big Smith was inside the bag
while it was being inflated. At last
the balloon bulged out, nearly full, and
Smith crawled from under. Twenty
five men were holding the balloon,
and Smith, after he got outside the
machine, saw a candy butcher named
Mitchell standing near him. Before
any one could count five Smith grabbed
Mitchell, threw him in the basket and
yelled Let goF The men dropped the
ropes, the balloon shot aloft like a
rocket, and the ten thousand people
strained their eyes as they saw it grow
smaller and smaller, until it was out Of
sight.
"When the balloon was first skipping
towards heaven Mitchell's head could
be seen over the edge of the basket as
he yelled Help, for Gods sakep When
the big bag aoated beyond the range
of vision a dozen men started north
ward-the way the wind carried the
b%alloon-in teams. They drove eight
or ten miles, and they found the
balloon with the wretched Mitchell
lying helplessly in the basket ON the
bank of q creek. Mitchells hair had
actually turned white from fright in
his hours ride in the clouds.
Several years after that, in another
town, Big Smith was inside another
balloon while it was being inflated.
After it was fun of hot air he orawled
over the edge of the basket and another
mar got in for u trip through the ozone
belt. Some II yelled Let gop The
ropes were loosened, but one rope, on
the side on which Smith was getting
out, took a turn round his leg, clutching
him tightly, and aa the balloon shot sky
ward 1t took Smith with it by the ankle.
His terrified companion in the basket,
who heard the cry of horror that swept
over the crowd eonl not elphim, for
if he changed his position The chances
were that the basket would upset or
that the rope would uncoii. After
about ten minutes the balloon came
down with Smith unconscious and his
head full of blood. However, he re-
covered, and is yet in the show bust.

Costly Stupidity.

Two or three years ago 1 was night
clerk at the Hotel Nantasket, at Nan
tasket Beach. One night John L. Sui
livan, with Pete Mccoy and a few of
his other sporting friends, came in and
wanted something to drink. 1t was
after IL o'clock and the bar was closed,
but the head ~barkeeper happened to be
near the desk, and knowing Sullivan
he opened the doors and the party went
in. They sat at q table for some time
and drank q couple Of bottles of wine.
They had evidently had some before
coming to the hotel, and they felt the
effects of it pretty strongly. As they
sat there a dispute arose about some
point or other which / did not under
stand, and Sullivan finally wanted to
bet a hundred dollars that he was right
"Oh, come Off" said Mccoy. "you
haven't got a hundred dollars" "H'aint
Iy' retorted Sullivan in a loud voice,
as he rose from the table. "I1l show
you I've got money. See here!' and
quick as a wink he drew a magnificent
gold watch from his vest pocket, re-
leased 1t from the guard and threw it
with his whole strength against the
partition which separated the wine
room from the hotel lobby. 1t sounded
like a bullet from q gun as it struck
the woodwork. OF course, the watch
was ruined. That was a sample Of the
reckless and foolish displays which he
frequently made in those days.
But 1t is not only the "plug-uglies"
and thugs" who do such things. I

ut a table in front Of the bar, and after
the bottle. had been cmptied, the young
man deliberately picked it up and sent
it crashing through a magnificent
French mirror which filled the whole
wall back of the bar. Then he drew
his %clleck-book from his pocket, signed
a blank, and before the proprietor had
time to show anger, asked him how
much he should fill it out for. The
break cost him 81, SOC.
